Unplugged And Totally Uncut: Yoko Ono

I've written two books based on the power of human thoughts and the ability of each word delivered landing on the front step of a different time and place. Without promotion and or notice it sits in a jar by the door. Alongside someone you'll never meet. This is a guess. An assumption. Not a sip of reality placed between the invisible fibers making up a sheet of paper. At no time. During any particular chapter of her personal journey. Did Yoko Ono know the impact she'd have beyond what everybody knows her for. Being in "Radio" landed me 14 minutes and 42 seconds with her. Being a "Writer" unlocked me from the principals of interview requirements. Having been in art galleries while still receiving pictures to paint from unexplained arrivals and destinations committed me to helping Yoko exhale. We shared a conversation. A continuation. It had nothing to do with me writing a book called Scrambled Eggs based on the life she's lived with a man of tremendous fame. I didn't feverishly fight to unveil the whispers of reality. The secrets of backstage. The treacherous reminders of having to become part of that long and winding road even when it's a mood, mindset or place in the present your heart no longer wants to dance with. I was asked multiple times if I were nervous. Strangest thing about me. Put an Artist on my place of creativity and from out of nowhere universes unite. I can't say that about coworkers, neighbors or Face Book friends. I admit! My heart lit! When Yoko casually spoke of no book being written about her because there is no one. I loved listening to her laugh while talking about her current music recording project with Sean. Then to hear her determination about John being told not to throw away his art brought me closer to an area of music history fans never hold long enough to pick their own strings while writing soon to be forgotten lyrics. I'm just one of a billion. The opposite side of a phone conversation. I'm not Oprah. MTV or felt any need to bust open a can of shock and surprise. For 14 minutes and 42 seconds. The paths of separated experiences would mysteriously become one. For no reason other than setting free a side of Yoko Ono that time wasn't interested in. Yet along the creative highway of constant change there'll be a set of eyes. A pair of ears. A heart begging to be listened to. That will hear Yoko's voice, determination and reasons for being truthful and giving. Let it be. The seed. Of a new beginning. The Interview YOKO ONO Presents: “In My Life” The Artwork of John Lennon May 3 – 5, 2013 Imagine There’s No Hunger… to help benefit The Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina “There are Places I’ll Remember…” John Lennon (Charlotte, NC—April 19, 2013) For the past 20+ years Yoko Ono & Legacy Fine Art & Productions have brought this exhibit across the United States as a way to honor his memory & celebrate his messages of peace, love & truth. As the exhibit returns to Charlotte, the focus this year is on truth & our continued quest to find all that is true in the world & within ourselves. You will have an opportunity to see John as an artist in the true sense of the word & not only take a look into his mind but experience “A Day in the Life” of John Lennon through his drawings, sketches and written words from his days as a Beatle up until his untimely death. John’s questioning of authority, through his statements & songwriting, was especially evident in his lyrics for “Give Me Some Truth” written for the Imagine Album 41 years ago. Given today’s political climate both globally & in the United States, John’s words ring as true now as they did then & continue to enlighten, inspire & provoke people all over the world. These exhibits have become meeting places for John’s legions of fans to “Come Together” & share in his spirit through his artwork & songwriting. Throughout the years the exhibit has been ever changing but the message has always remained the same…. IMAGINE….Join us in Remembering John Lennon.
